When fanteenies attack!!
This is . . . oh wow. And it's a mailing list on yahoogroups, but the membership is open for those of stout enough heart to brave the depths of wank. Relevant posts and explanations are behind the cut.

Okay, so. In the beleaguered Monkees fandom there is a girl named Jennifer. She's been wanked before and is your classic hysterical, screaming, utterly grammarless, wanky fangirl who is desperate to appear important—since she doesn't have BNF status dammit she's going to MAKE it on her own with baling wire and twine.

So she has a mailing list called freedommonkeesspot (which is what she finallly settled on after changing it about six damn times), which bills itself as "An Offical Monkees Club!" (Still trying to figure out what "Offical" means . . . )

One of Jennifer's (she goes by "Judy" on her list) main activities is to brag about how she knows Peter Tork, was going to be his biographer (yeah, that's good for a half hour laugh when you see how she writes), and likes to respond to her detractors with threats that she's going to tell Peter all about the MEEN people. Yeah. So she posts to the list that she received an email from Peter himself, but wouldn't tell anyone what it said. (Not that she's ever able to back up anything she ever says.)

The claim immediately piques the attention of "Nesorkithenz," who writes: I do want to email him. I really do. I am so desparate to get his email address and send him an email.

This isn't a new claim; many many people have desired to find out how to contact the guys, which is stupid since every single one has a fan address and Nez puts his email on his site, videoranch.com. Email addresses are generally reserved for the more dedicated fans whom the guys know and trust. I have Peter's email myself and wouldn't give it to anyone.

Several people onlist tell Nesorkithenz this, but apparently it's only taunting her, because her posts become more desperate:

"i don't care if he responds or not, i want to email him."

"could somebody just tell me Peter's email address and get it overwith already, that's all i am asking. please"

"Look, how are we supposed to get his email address if people won't tell us. we are true Monkees fans and we want to know that information. I know Mike's email address. If I knew Peter's too, i would give that out unless he said specifically to me to not give it out."


At this point it behooves me to mention that Peter DOES tell people not to give it out. They do anyway, but some of us do respect his wishes.

Nesorkithenz the wanker apparently doesn't, for after several more "Sorry, but Peter has a right to his privacy" posts, she comes splooging forth with this:

"fine, but you know what you guys are? you guys are stupid because from one Monkees fan to another, you can't even give me what I want. whether Peter said to give it out or not. I am leaving this group because i can't take all of the bullshit. i have my own group now too. you are only allowed in it if you give me Peter's email address and if you find my group. bye."

Wow. Never saw that one coming . . . and now I'm off to obsessively search for this group and give her a bum email addy bed.

ETA: Annnnd . . . she's still on the list! Demanding to know why I'm making fun of her, heh.

She claims was going to be Peter's biographer? DUDE! That is so... So... There are no words. She can't even construct a sentence, let alone write a book! Whoa.

And I implore you to give whatsherface a fake email address. Give her mine, even! *veg* Seriously.

Man, Monkees wank is hard to come by, but when it does... There are NO words.

Monkees Fans come in various flavors, ranging from the vanilla--owning a few albums, liking the music...to the Tutti-Frutti--stalking, delusions of grandeur, collecting Monkee spit...

*Long Pause*

Man... I must be something like...Rocky Road.

I guess I'd only fall in the "vanilla fudge" category, since I had no idea Davy had a "number one rule". Wait - Vanilla Fudge was a band, wasn't it? I'm all confused now.

Heehee--I'm just sad that after resizing it you can no longer tell that the hot dog is inexplicably dripping with some sort of clearish white substance. Best Wolverine picture ever.

I think it's his irrationally angry expression that does it.

Oooo! Can I be Pistachio?

Wait. That would mean I'm nutty and green.

And I'm definitely not green.

hmm.

I was in a band that covered Monkees songs and I owned two record albums (one being a first edition, both were either sold or stolen). My surname is very similar to Tork. That makes the sprinkles on the sundae, right?

I suppose I'm something like bubblegum flavored ice cream then. While I've got a bunch of the standard stuff (albums, CDs, t-shirts, videos, DVDs), I've got a bunch of weird crap, too (like a Monkees book written in Danish and a cardboard cut out of them).

Yep. I'm definitely bubblegum flavored. How nauseating.

What is wrong with people? They thing that since they're a fan of something, they deserve the right to contact them and otherwise stalk and harass them? I don't think so!

It's almost like demanding their home phone number. It gives them a direct link to the star for their rabid fan ravings. Like anyone would want to inflict that one someone who is trusting you with their privacy.

I always despise how the public treats "famous people". They're people. They like a quiet evening at home without being stalked by people that want to have their babies and take their pictures while they're dressed in a tatty old jumpsuit. Do you think if that happened to some of these lame fans, they'd understand that rabid fans suck? Probably not.

People are not zoo exhibits just put there for one's amusement. Treat them like people. Give them some respect, some privacy, some dignity!

Word to all of your post (for lack of better words).

I think people who are that invasive have no sense of empathy. They are either unable or unwilling to put themselves in [insert celebrity here]'s place.

I had a friend who was prowling around Robin Zander's house in the '80s, before "stalker" became a household word. I told her, "How would you feel if some idiot strangers were peeking in *your* windows?" She looked totally blank and her response was, "I live on the fifth floor, like anybody's gonna see me!"

"I live on the fifth floor, like anybody's gonna see me!"

People these days just don't get it do they? They take things so literally. They live their lives so...I don't know, obliviously? I don't think that's the term that I'm searching for. They're just never very self-aware, or aware at all it seems.

My brain is in no state to dissect human nature today. I will just restate the fact that, rabid fans suck. They need to be beaten with nail bats until they get some common sense or their useless brain leaks out their ear.

Aw, my first online fandom! I had no idea it could be so wanky. Of course, back then I was young and naive and anti-social.

Look, how are we supposed to get his email address if people won't tell us. we are true Monkees fans and we want to know that information.

Who's we? True Monkees fans respect his privacy and the fact he doesn't want everyone and their second cousin having his email address. What part of that is hard to comprehend? Are all those syllables throwing you off or something?

i have my own group now too. you are only allowed in it if you give me Peter's email address and if you find my group. bye.

Next time, just put gum in their hair. It's still childish, but probably more effective.

So much for the belief that children outgrow tantrums.

Wow.

I'm not sure which is worse, the stupidity of the wankers, or Yahoo's horrible, horrible site layout...
